The focus for this hotspot is usually water birds. They are often distant, so a scope is necessary for identifying many of the birds.  

Waterfowl, gulls and terns.

Birmingham Point gets its name from the town that was located there; the town was destroyed by the creation of Kentucky Lake. 

The dam was completed in 1944, and the entirety of Birmingham, Kentucky was submerged under the resulting lake, the largest manmade lake in the world at the time. Some residents of Birmingham had to relocate a second time due to the creation of Lake Barkley.

When the water in Kentucky Lake is low, the remains of foundations and streets of Birmingham are often visible, especially at Birmingham Point.
